Father, son, his lover, heat, summer, night. A small male world, unusually tender and vulnerable, like the whole life of migrants in big cities. In addition to the difficult conditions of life and work, sometimes there is another context that remains in the shadows: love must be hidden. Especially when it comes to queer love.
